Another notable point from the meeting was the council’s approval of a motion to appoint Brady Gabe as a full member of the Mount Hope Fire Company Number Two. This appointment was met with positive acknowledgment and gratitude for Gabe’s service.

In other business, the council reflected on the contributions of outgoing members Mary Noon and Rachael Brookes, expressing thanks for their service during their tenure. Both were praised for their advocacy and dedication to their respective wards, with fellow council members and the mayor acknowledging the positive impact of their work.

The meeting also included a presentation from the Rotary Club of the Rockaways, highlighting their charitable efforts, such as the Toys for Tots campaign, which anticipated filling 10 boxes with donations this year.
